While we strive for full accessibility, some areas of the platform may have limitations that we are actively working to address:
Some interactive charts and data visualisations may not be fully accessible to screen readers. Data table alternatives are provided where possible.
Certain third-party embedded content (such as Google Maps on the Contact page) may not meet our accessibility standards.
PDF-generated study materials may have limited screen reader compatibility.
We audit these areas regularly and prioritise accessibility improvements in our development roadmap.
